Reports: Ranbir Kapoor Moves to Revive RK Films, Plans Directorial Debut Under Banner

Trade sources describe a brand-first reboot focused on a developing slate rather than immediate studio construction.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets cite unnamed insiders saying Kapoor is reactivating the RK Films banner founded by his grandfather Raj Kapoor.
  • The initial slate reportedly includes Kapoor’s first film as director, aligning with his recent statement that he has begun a writers’ room.
  • Projects in discussion are said to include an Ayan Mukerji feature and Anurag Basu’s long-gestating Kishore Kumar biopic expected to star Aamir Khan.
  • Coverage also mentions potential collaborations with Deepika Padukone, with talks characterized as advanced but not finalized.
  • Reports emphasize rebuilding the label before premises, noting the 2017 studio fire and the 2019 sale of the Chembur property to Godrej Properties; no formal announcement has been made.
